Chapter 43 Acquittal

[This old man, he doesn't even spare two dead people! Since he likes absorbing the luck of his loved ones, then I'll just let him absorb as much as he wants!]

After finishing everything, Gu Yunxi left the He family ancestral hall, glancing back one last time before leaving.

【He Sihan, He Sihan, I saved your whole family's lives. You must repay this life-saving grace properly in the future!】

After that, He Sihan couldn't hear anything anymore; it seemed that Gu Yunxi had left.

When the lights in the ancestral hall went out, presumably Grandpa had fallen asleep, he left the place.

He couldn't sleep that night!

I never imagined that my current state, as well as the deaths of my father and uncle, were all orchestrated by my grandfather.

No wonder Grandpa's health was failing all those years ago; somehow, he suddenly started to get better.

The whole family was overjoyed, but strange things gradually began to happen.

My father collapsed and passed away not long after, followed by my uncle.

If what Gu Yunxi said is true, and he hadn't met her, he would have been the one to collapse a month later.

Next was his younger brother Sichen, and then Xiaona. After they all left, I guess the old man started to deal with his mother and aunt!

But who would believe such a terrible thing if it were told?

If he hadn't been able to hear Gu Yunxi's inner thoughts, he wouldn't have believed it even if someone had told him the truth!

That's terrifying!

...

He Bin had just drifted off to sleep when he heard a whistle.

He was all too familiar with that sound; it was the sound of people getting up at 6 a.m.

He hadn't slept all night, hadn't even changed his clothes, and got up with his head, which was bigger than a basket on his back.

Upon opening the door, they found two policemen standing there, one of them holding a clean set of clothes.

"He Bin, change your clothes and come with us."

Where to?

He seemed to have not slept all night; even his voice was dry and hoarse when he spoke.

"Don't overthink it. We've already investigated and found out that you didn't do what happened six months ago. The culprit has been caught. Come over and complete the formalities with us later, and you'll be released from prison."

"Out of prison, good!"

He blankly accepted the new clothes, and just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly looked up.

"Officer, what did you just say? I can be released from prison?"

"Yes, He Bin, you've been framed. Hurry up and change your clothes and get out of prison so you can reunite with your wife and children."

"well!"

Overjoyed, he wept, touched the phone, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily several times towards the spot where the fairy stood.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

The two policemen exchanged a glance and finally realized that Gu Yunxi must have seen him last night.

"Hurry up and change your clothes. Remember to thank the streamer from the Star Gazing Pavilion when you get out. She saved you. With her abilities, she really deserves to be called a 'Great Immortal'."

Liu Bin was completely confused, but the three characters "Guanxing Pavilion" were deeply etched in his mind.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

After changing his clothes, he followed the two policemen out, filled out some more forms, and happily left prison with the acquittal verdict in hand!

He wanted to buy something for his child, but he was penniless and could only make up for it next year!

"bite!"

Unexpectedly, I received a text message on my phone, which turned out to be a message from the bank.

There's an extra million in my card... this is unbelievable.

He bowed gratefully to the large iron gates behind him, then got into his car and left.

He Bin's house, 4 PM!

Wang Xiaodan took half a day off to go home. She deliberately went to the cake shop to buy a small cake and also bought toys for the child.

After putting the things down, I rushed to the daycare to pick up my child.

Xiao Yi glanced at her mother, quickly ran forward, called out, "Mom," and then took her hand.

After getting on the electric scooter, the two hurriedly drove home.

"Xiaoyi, today is your birthday. Mom will make you a bowl of longevity noodles and stir-fry a few dishes."

Xiao Yi looked at the small cake and a toy car on the table with delight.

He suddenly fell silent as he touched the packaging box of the toy car.

"I wish Dad were here."

Wang Xiaodan, who was washing vegetables, paused. Yes, if only her father were here!

No matter how busy he is every year, he will definitely take time off to come home on his child's birthday.

It was supposed to be a day of family reunion, but everything changed this year. In the huge house, only she and her child were left all alone.

"It's okay, Xiaoyi. Just think of Daddy as being with us. He's away on a business trip. He's been very busy this year, but next year... next year he'll definitely be there for your birthday and buy you a really pretty toy car."

Wiping away her tears, she continued washing the vegetables.

"Knock knock knock!"

Someone knocked on the door. Xiao Yi told her mother and then took her little stool to open the door!

The moment he opened the door, he burst into tears.

"Dad, Dad, you're back!"

Wang Xiaodan heard the child's voice, "Xiaoyi, who is it? How could it be your father? Your father won't come."

She turned around and saw the man holding the child; tears streamed down her face.

"Wife, I...I'm back!"

...

After nearly a whole night of tossing and turning, Gu Yunxi still felt dizzy when she woke up.

"After such a wonderful night, I'm truly exhausted, both physically and mentally!"

Lying in bed, she grumbled, while Gu Yunlang, who was standing at the door, listened to the sounds coming from inside.

Great, his sister is home. He felt that if he stayed any longer, he would really become a private investigator.

[Alas! I never imagined that the He Family Ancestral Hall held such a secret.]

Buzz...

Gu Yunlang felt his mind go blank for a few seconds. Listening to his sister's thoughts just now, she still went to the He family last night and treated him like a Japanese.

fraud!

He said he would go home as soon as he finished dealing with Zhao Xiaorou, but I didn't expect that he would secretly go to the He Family Ancestral Hall behind my back!

Luckily nothing happened. If that cold-faced devil had found out, we would have been doomed!

"Third Brother, what are you doing sitting outside my door? You startled me."

Gu Yunlang stood up and kicked the small stool aside. "I was just trying to protect you, after all, you pay me such a high salary. After finishing up with Zhao Xiaorou's matter last night, you came straight back?"

Gu Yunxi stretched and yawned. "Yeah! What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I was just worried about you because it was late. Don't go out at night so easily in the future. If my family hadn't been busy lately, I would have been in big trouble if they found out that you were sneaking out in the middle of the night."

Gu Yunlang touched her forehead. "Of course, you're in trouble then!"

"That's it, that's it!"

From this moment on, the fate of the He family begins to shift. He Sihan's health will slowly recover, and my life, well, it's saved.

So what exactly did she do to the He family ancestral hall? She should think about it some more!

Gu Yunlang kept staring at Gu Yunxi.

Why is Third Brother looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my outfit today? Or is my makeup ruined?

"Cough cough cough!"

Gu Yunlang snapped out of his reverie and looked into the distance. "What's our job today?"

"Hmm... let's go to the He family!"

"Okay!"

"Wait, Third Brother, are you hiding something from me? Why are you so agitated when I said I was going to the He family?"

Gu Yunxi stared into Gu Yunlang's eyes and said, "Tell me, have you taken a fancy to a short-lived man? Let me tell you, you absolutely mustn't."

"I?"

Gu Yunlang pointed to himself, looking at his younger sister with some disbelief.
